This week we'd like to thank everyone who joined us at our dial-in check-in on Monday. Our diverse alumni community means the world to us and we are so thankful for all your love and support.
As we learned from all of you, Bruins everywhere have continued to thrive — from
running for office to navigating business in a physically distant world. This week's offerings include opportunities to learn from and support Bruins who have continued to thrive and uplift each other throughout the ongoing pandemic.
